Re: The "New" Cyanotype - Part 2

Hello All-

I would like to ask a few questions-

The comments about DMax and the new cyanotype process got me wondering-

What target DMax should I expect from single coated Pd on Arches Platine
with Pot.Oxalate dev?

Can someone who double coats outline their method? I usually find that
the Platine soaks up the second coat before I can spread it with my
glass rod.

Does anyone humidify their paper before printing? If so, what is your
method?

I have found results similar to Judy's- I can see the Pd wash away in
the developer if I dry the paper (with a hair dryer, set on warm)
immediately after coating. On the other hand, if wait more than 5
minutes or so, the print has a "sunken" or dull appearance, as though
the sensitizer has soaked too far into the paper.

Thanks,
Dan Donovan
